  • In "Help Needed", Taryl tackles an old rototiller from 1980 and Slippers calls the Lawn Mower Detectives when something appears to be wrong at the shop. The mower detectives show up and are forced to drawn their weapons... How will it end??
    After the intro and before the conclusion, Taryl attempts to polish this old turd of a rototiller. What brand even is this thing? Looks like a Lawn-Boy but it's not. Anyway, can he bring this old piece of vintage fecal back from the septic? Or should it stay flushed where it once belonged, in the scrap yard. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

    Great recovery on that tiller. Sometimes you have to reverse engineer the crummy work by the previous owner to fix a problem. This is a nicely running tiller, that took some patience and experience to fix. To rescue this machine from the scrap yard and repair to such a good state must be a satisfying feeling.

It was a very interesting tour of his garage as he can manufacture any spring to high specs and tolerances, high performance engine valve springs to itsy bitsy ones. Wondered how much you could make on spring then I saw a pallet box that I when I picked up handful I was like, there must be ten million in there. Sits there in the garage churning out mucho de boingo ef yeah.

    The starter clutch is eminently serviceable and easy to clean. The square starter 'boss' is made of sintered metal so it is designed to retain oil and be naturally friction-free. Just clean the inside with a .45-.50 cal gun barrel cleaning brush, clean the inner star chamber and clean the steel balls with solvent. Reassemble, add a few drops of motor oil to the hole in the end of the square piece and voila, it's functional again.

No matter how much I told him it wasn't good for it, he wouldn't listen to me. I guess the only advantage was, with all that oil all over it, it didn't rust.

    i have a very very similar one, but in red. i guess mine is one of the first one because its from 1957-60 i think as we looked into it in the past. my father bought it used in the 90`s. (we changed the engine just last year, for a exact same one from a cement mixer) the main problem are
    -if you dont have the dig bar in the back those things are very hard on the wrist.
    -the carburetor is garbage
    -the thines keep getting clogged with roots and stuff
    -when the rope break you must un bent some metal tabs holding the spool in, with time they break off
    -the starter flat clock spring break all the time and its a pain to grind a new end and put everything back
    anyway its a nightmare, but rototillers are very expensive and its the only one of its kind that is small, but not too small. we use it every year to till about 50by50ft big plot.
